Apocalyptic Classic: ON THE BEACH

I was reading about Anthony Perkins today and it reminded me of his role in the classic film adaptation of Nevil Shute’s ON THE BEACH. Not the crappy new version, mind you, but the amazingly visceral 1959 version with Gregory Peck and Fred Astaire. If you are a fan of apocalyptic movies and have not seen this movie, YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS MOVIE NOW. Visceral, heart wrenching.
